bgevconsultancy makes legal-AI citations prove their work

This fork turns citations from helpful links into a more defensible trail back to the precise source text.

searchcompliance

Chat answers gain clickable citation chips and a clear notice of what supports them. Behind that simple interface, each source passage is recorded with its location in the document, page range, character positions and a checksum that identifies the version originally analysed.

That enables two useful safeguards:

Exact highlighting in the document viewer, taking the reader straight to the cited passage rather than searching for a similar phrase.
A visible stale-citation warning when the current document no longer matches the version used to generate the answer.

The result is a citation experience built for checking, not merely reading.

So what Legal teams assessing AI answers against contracts, evidence or policy documents should care because this makes verification faster and flags when the underlying record has changed.
